The pillars of CSR: understanding the key dimensions
People often speak of the pillars of CSR to describe its main dimensions. Understanding them helps build a coherent strategy, and shows where each concrete initiative fits.
What are the pillars of CSR?
CSR is classically built on three dimensions (ESG): environmental (reduce footprint, manage waste, save energy), social (working conditions, equality, inclusion) and governance (ethics, responsible procurement, transparency).
The environmental pillar: often the most actionable
For many businesses, the environmental pillar offers the fastest, most measurable initiatives. Waste management is the prime example, including for diffuse waste like butts.
From pillars to action
Each pillar is translated into concrete measures in a CSR action plan, anchored in a CSR policy. On the environmental side, Easy to Change makes it tangible: collection and recycling of butts.
